Guest guest Posted November 5, 2005 Report Share Posted November 5, 2005 Hi Ben, You might try fasting your cat for a day or two. If that doesn't work, try 3 or 4. If you've trained her (even inadvertently ) to meow when she's hungry, you'll have to put up with some sound effects but really this is the only way to convince her that holding out for junk won't work. And, you'll have to keep her inside while you're fasting her so she doesn't get into garbage and eat something she shouldn't. I've never fasted my cat because I only fast symptomatic animals and my cat has never had a symptom (he's been raw since he was 8 weeks old and he's 5 now) but my dog has fasted for as long as 10 days. My cat loves blended chicken livers and egg yolks, so you might try mixing some of each in with your cat's regular raw food to see if that tempts her. If you're interested, I can send you an article I wrote for Living Nutrition magazine on fasting animals. Dry food isn't really cheap or easy when you factor in vet bills, pain and suffering, btw. Best of luck, Nora - " m r . b l a n k e n s h i p " <stereofield The kats sound great, but one is enough for me. I have a kitty that was raised raw until I went out of town and my housemates fed her (gasp!) dry food, which she acquired quite a taste for. I got her some of her usual turkey when I got back (mixed with the Insticts brand cat dust and the salmon oil, etc.,) but she literally RAN from it, preferring the dry McShit food she was getting while I was away. Any ideas on how to get her back on the chuck wagon so to speak? Dry food is cheap and easy, but she's getting fat and her boyfriend might dump her. Off topic a bit, but any advice would be much appreciated. Thanky! Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
